Dr Larrin Thomas' New Video on Knife Steels

[Naperville]

The tail end of this short video is a bit of an ad for his more recent steel book, which I (EDITED: just bought). There just are no excellent books on knife steels out there other than Dr Thomas' books.

That looks fascinating. It’s in my Amazon cart. I like the period-appropriate music, clothing, and black-and-white videography in Larrin’s video. What fun!

I did not see that many books in stock on Amazon so I hurried up and ordered one. I just hope that I get it by mid December. I know people are going to be ordering like mad around Christmas time.

Thanks for sharing the video. It was fun to make, and I think it is important to remember the people who innovated in knives and steel.

Nice one, Larrin! The geographic and visual context is excellent.

I grew up not too far from Bethlehem and the steel works were still running when I was a little kid. It was quite a sight.

I also remember even in the 80s the 'Burgh still had rather foul air from all the iron and steel production.

Great video!

Thanks!

We Spyderco fans have been so spoiled with such a great selection of different blade steels to choose from. But I don't want to change anything in that regard. We are also so blessed to have a great guy like "Larrin" here to educate us all on the various properties on all of these blade steels.
